I have purchased zenphone 3 5.2'' version 15 days back , i had used samsung mid range phones , sony xperia z2, iphone 5se and xaomi note 3 . after 2 months of extensive research i risked on this new company and new model looking after many positive reviews .
Well this phones all the right boxes spec wise but seems expensive compared to competition and being new venture for asus .
This phone performs in fluid fashion , battery last a complete workfull day inspite of medium capacity. Screen is best for the price , MI has great screen vibrancy though. RAM ROM combination is on downer side looking up at hybrid sim slot . 3 /64 GB would have been great for the price. Processor is gem SD 625 is best in performance - cool , low power , takes multitasking with ease and can give run for themoney to its predessors.

Camera looks best on paper but doesn't perform what could have been best camera phone( Asus marketed it as camera phone) in spite of image stabilizing gears, the shots seems to be shaky, images are not sharp as expected- it has 4 axis OIS. low light shots are not worth talking , focus is not sharp - it has laser and PD auto focus - i am comparing with flagships of established player costing double this model. but camera is best in its price bracket and you have tons of options to play putting DSLR camera to shame.
But still best buy and its most beautifull phone in India market rivaling expensive phones and feels expensive for the price.. it fills so premium when people just look at the back of model, mine is sapphire black.
Asus is attempting to flood with tons of variants with same nomenclature , that confuses the potential buyers , instead keep portfolio short with meaning full model name instead of model number. And increase authorized service centers in India with decent service quality , asus will be successful brand in smartphone market and being Taiwan brand will help as we purchase expensice HTC for no reasons.

Rafl 1988, 21 Apr 2017Hi, I just bought this phone yesterday to change my old Nexus 4..
I wanna ask, is it possible... moreWhy would you install app on sd card? Internal storage isn't a problem. To answer your question, No, Only to move data of the app but not to install because it will slow the application.

I got an update on 23/apr/17 it was a small update for nouget for camerra stablity and lock screen slide show but after that update my ZenFone 3 is taking 8 hour or so to get charged fully and phone is not deducted by pc when connecting through usb cable not even a sound from the pc,the phone just charges ,someone plz help

Asus Zenfone 3 5.2 is good because im using it now. Good battery life, good peformance, beautiful screen, it got bluelight filter and it supports Android 7.0 Nougat. But the glass back is the worst part about it and recommended to wear a case. Camera is decent and would recommend if you're finding a budget phone under for me a malaysian is MYR 1500-.

Anonymous, 25 Apr 2017How is the durability of this phone? Like drop test. I am planning to buy this.You can drop as many times as possible till your phone no longer works. And you'll know the durability thereafter.

I have a problem with the fingerprint sensor on this asus zenfone 3 ze520kl. The fingerprint sensor is not working and does not detect anyone's finger after firmware update, I've done wipe cache partition, mmsi test with calculator until factory reset still not working fingerprint. Anyone who can help me please thank you

Anonymous, 25 Apr 2017How is the durability of this phone? Like drop test. I am planning to buy this.I was test this phone in a water for 5m it still works great. About drop test, be careful because it was built with glass on back panel. So, u should wear casing on your phone.

I wanna ask, is it possible... moreYes you can, but it'll never be executed. Apps supposed to be installed in internal storage for it to run.

white, 12 Mar 2017Why Asus Zenfone 3 (ZE520KL) & (ZE552KL) only used Snapdragon 625? So PadFone S is more be... moreDo your research first before comparing. Just a little piece of advice my friend. I'm fed up explaining about the chipset efficiency .
